Very Comfortable Stay

We really enjoyed our stay - clean, safe, quiet, and a quick ride into Memphis for our events. Marty was very responsive to any communication and showed flexibility when we had an unexpected hiccup with our trip. As a bonus the property is about a mile from a nice Kroger store.

I rented this property because of the photos and reviews. While it was quite charming as far as the decor goes, the furniture was falling apart and the stove/oven did not work. I was and am still highly disappointed. I feel as though you can not trust this sight or reviews.

Nice, clean and convenient

The Vrbo is convenient to Hernando area. The neighbors were kind and the home served our needs. The owner’s communication was fabulous. Our only complaint - but it wouldn’t necessarily keep us from renting again- was the proximity to the highway- back yard literally backed to the highway so the noise was a bit much for us. I think the owner could consider adding deadbolts and/or a better locking mechanism on front and back doors. Overall I’d say rent here for convenience, especially if the lock situation is resolved for safety. We didn’t have anything happen fyi, but didn’t feel secure. I’ll update the review if owner corrects the locks.

Wonderful Place

We stayed here while visiting Memphis. You could tell how clean it was when opening the door. It smelled wonderful. Close to Memphis and Tunica. Felt safe and a great location. Will definitely stay here again. The owner was also great about staying in contact with us.

Perfect again!

2nd time staying here and everything was perfect again! Very clean, had everything we needed or forgot, and always smelled great as soon as you entered the door. Plenty of space for us, the air conditioner always kept us nice and cool, and the beds were very comfortable. We will always choose this place when staying in Hernando!!

Short but sweet

Only stayed here for one night because my plans changed, but it was very relaxing. The rental was very clean and smelled very nice as soon as you walked in the door. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us and everything was very cozy. Krogers and the Brickhouse was right down the road, and The Dip was close by too. We got our supplies, pizza, and ice cream and relaxed in front of the TV for the rest of the night. Definitely would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Marty McFarlin

Host profile image
We’re firm believers in good manners, comfortable surroundings, and the kind of Southern hospitality that makes you feel welcome without making a fuss about it.

We appreciate old houses, interesting stories, good food, and places with a little character. We believe the best hospitality is thoughtful but never intrusive.

Our approach to hosting is simple: make everything lovely, anticipate the little things, and then leave you to enjoy yourself. Consider us your gracious Southern hosts — always happy to help, but never one to overstay our welcome.

Why they chose this property

There’s something special about a Southern neighborhood where life moves at its own pace, the houses have a little character, and waving at strangers is practically a local custom.

We love the sense of place, the familiar charm, and the way Southern hospitality still feels like second nature around here.

It’s a place where tradition and everyday life exist comfortably together, and where you’re likely to be greeted with a smile whether anyone knows your name or not. We think that’s something worth preserving.

What makes this property unique

We believe a home should have a little soul, a little history, and absolutely no reason to take itself too seriously.

Ours is thoughtfully appointed, comfortably lived-in, and full of the character that makes a house feel like something more than just a place to stay.

We’ve paid attention to the little things, from inviting surroundings to the comforts that make settling in feel effortless. Nothing overly fussy, nothing ordinary, and certainly nothing that feels like a cookie-cutter rental.

Consider it Southern charm with a little polish, a touch of whimsy, and all the comforts of home without the chores that usually come with it.
